Its lush foliage and striking spires of blue-violet flowers, which can reach up to 2 feet in height, make it a favorite for adding color to meadows and gardens. This lupine prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils, blooming profusely in late spring. It's also valued for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
